CHANGES IN CHAPEL
Why do the students at Cho
wan regard the chapel hour with
so much more pleasure than in
former days? An interesting
question, yet the answer is sim
ple. Changes have taken place.
To begin with the schedule has
been changed so that chapel comes
befween the second and third pe
riod classes rather than at the end
of the fourth period as was form
erly the custom. Not only does
this arrangement break the mono
tony of straight classes but it also
enables all students to attend.
Since this new arrangement has
been rhade tthe chapel attendance
has doubled.
The order of the chapel pro,
-grauii has also been changed. In-
5trad of the old five-day regular
chapel periods, general assembly
meets only three times a week,
Tylonday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Tuesday and Thursday are given
over to student meetings. The
Tuesday period is recognized as
the one belonging to the dean of
women and is used as she thinks
iiest. Tliursday is given over to
student purposes and may be con
ducted by any of the student or
ganizations.
A definite plan has been mapped
out for the three general assembly
periods: the time on Monday be
ing given to Dr. Edwards, on Wed
nesday to Rev. Duncan, and on
Friday to Rev. Robinson.
Especially interesting to both
students and faculty was the talk
gi- 6n by Dr. Ed .yards this week
based on curent events. Briefly
he' -eviewed the high spots of the
legislature in Raleigh, Congress in
Washington, and the Hauptmann
case, giving his personal opinion
concerning each topic.
Students and faculty are co
operating wonderfully, and chapel
has become a time of pleasure and
enjoyment. It is no longer
dreaded.
THE NEW SEMESTER
a
■ jfc*Tuere seems to be a efeCit deal
rcjoieing around here because
examinations are over, but really
the students have something far
more important about which to
rejcice—a new semester has re
gun.
Why should that fact be a parti
cular cause for joy? It would seem
that it is a cause lor dread and
premonitions concerning the long
hard semester before us. How
ever, this new semester gives each
of us another chance—another
chance to make good his mistakes
and profit tliereby. Of course, this
does not apply to all students.
Some students always do their
work well and therefore do not
need another chance; the new
semester is merely a continuation
of their work.
Unfortunately, there are a few
of us who mar the first semester
with poor grades. These grades
are due as much to not applying
ourselves as anything else. Then
the pleasant «r unpleasant inter
lude, whichever you choose, of ex
ams comes, and how we wish we
had taken advantage of our chan
ce. The second semester is our
second chance—the chance to start
over and do our very best. Thus,
when exams next come, no bit
ter regrets will face the students.
If we will only face this semes
ter as a new untried path on
which we must tread in the very
best way we can, perhaps there
will be no deficiences. Think how
much less trouble that would
make for all concerned.
It is really fortunate that the
second semester starts immed
iately after mid-term exams, for
the students are possibly in a bet
ter mood to get down to some real
hard work and profit by their
past “night-before-cramming.” At
any rate students, the new path is
before us to make of it what we
will. Let us tread it well and
carefully.
Rev.S.S.McGreffor
our short sightedness, are unable
to see why these dispensations of
Providence happen.
In his passing Reverend Mc-
Gregor’s churches have lost an in
defatigable and tireless pastor; his
town a valuable and esteemed
citizen; his association, a wise
counselor; and Chowan College a
valuable and esteemed friend.
He has given liberally of his
time and money in the interest of
Chowan College in the way of so
liciting students through high
school visitation, as well as taking
trips to contact people in the in
terest of permanent endowment
for the College. »
He was a great man, tireless in
his efforts to further the cause of
Christianity and Education, yet he
never lost the human every-day
touch. Truly a great Spirit has
gone and Chowan College misses
him greatly.
—W. B. EDWARDS, President.
CAMPUS THROUGH
THE KEYHOLE
On Tuesday, January 15, at 12
o’clock, Rev. S. S. McGregor clos-
the earthly shutters of his life and
was transplanted as a flower into
God’s garden in Heaven. We, in
Everythin must have an ending,
and so here we are right back
again after the interruption in our
school work. However, things
are back in good running order
once more.
Now how about another little
squint through the good old Kay-
hole: What does meet our in
quiring eye?
One Saturday night two good
friends of Helen McDaniel and
Wilma W'oolard, were discussing
and reading the next day’s Sun
day School lesson. Suddenly Wil
ma exclaimed, “Mac, do you khbw
what we’ve done? We’ve read the
Baptist Sunday School lesson, and
we’re going to the Methodist
Church.”
Not bad, eh folks?

By the way, Mary Lou
“(Queenie)” Piland must have
changed her method of attack.
She has been wearing “Irresis-
table” perfume lately, Mere luck
to you “Queenie”.
Along with other changes
around our institution, it may be
of interest that we have some new
co-eds. As far as I can see, some
of our girls have already started
to work,. and I don’t mean on
their studies.
One of those same co-eds has
taken a fancy to a small girl with
baby features and long hair. In
itials: J. F., catch on?
—O—
An especially bright girl of my
acquaintance has solved a deep
dark mystery. Noticing that Miss
Gravette was wearing dark glass
es she figured out this solution.
Evidently Miss Gravette has such

wite so. My dear Watson!

By the way, we have a new bell
ringer. Cora Felton Bass, former
ly the one to relieve students
from classes, has turned that duty
over to Beadie Helms, O. K.,
Beadie, ring out those bells!
I just wish you could have been
with me the other day to see what
happejned in the dormitary. It
was a room in which a certain
girl lived who had a radio. Helen
McDanial was holding the ground
wire in her hand in order to get
better music on the radio. Tiring
of this, she twisted the wire
around her ear. It happened that
she leaned back and touched the
radiator. Imagine her surprise
when she got ghocked and was her
face red?
Merelee Asbell used to sing
“Honeymoon Hotel” now she has
gone back to singing “Nobody’s
Sweetheart.” Why?
Basketball practice is coming
along fine. Here’s hoping for a
swell team this year, and plenty
of games.

If any of you happen to wander
along third floor you will proba
bly hear Lois Cartwright singing
“Love In Bloom”, and once in

I guess you all know it by now
but our Student Government .is
just outdoing itself. It has new,
modern call down cards. Hooray!
Julia Futrelle’s heart is now go

A certain Senior who is taking
iBiotogy has named her dogfish
Jimmy, and also received a re
markable number of long distance
calls and letters from Wake For
est lately. You can figure out
what it’s about.
Speaking of Biology, an amus
ing scene took place in the lab.
the other day. Several girls were
in the act of disecting a dogfish.
Edna Mae: “I can harly wait to
get into this dogfish to see what
makes him tick.”
(Later) Hannah Winborne:
“Do they really tick? I never
knew it until you told me. I
guess. I’m just naturally dumb.”
Echoes From
Exams
A new girl at Chowan (not a
freshman, however) was wonder
ing just why exams were held in
the gymnasium. Finally she de
cided that such an arrangement
had been made so that students
could sing a song, pray, and go to
work.
From w'hat I hear, some of these
prayers were needed, too.
* J[:
I guess a great number of foun
tain pens felt like singing “Was
That the Human Thing To Do?”
when their owners got through
chewing on them during exams.

Hannah Winborne and a friend
were studying for English exam.
The other girl was explaining
where Homer, Chancer, Boccaccio,
etc., were from. Hannah piped
up and said: “How about Old Vir
gil? Where was she from?”
« it: 9t!
Question on history eram: “Who
is speaker of the House of Repre
sentatives?” Answer: The speaker
of the House is nobody. Mr.
Brummitt died Monday.

Since we are speaking of his
tory exams, here are a few more
honors: “Feudalism—The people
got to work and increased their
population, they began to trade
and carry on more commerce.”
“The Renaissance began in Italy
because they could have a great
influence on the people.”
“The Truce of God is the divine
belief in God.”
“The Renaissances were a group
of people that went from place to
place trying to get other people to
come under their control.”
“The Renaissance were a band
of people which began their jour
ney in Italy.' These people con
sist of writers, explorers,'scientists,
painters and nearly all classes of
people which were looking for
freedom and a place where they
could do their own ruling.”

Speaking of statistics it might
be of interest to note that at the
last B. S. U. meeting the report
was given that the atendance at
morning watch during exam week
was greatly improved.
